Non-Fiction Memoir
Twenty-year-old American gymnast Shawn Johnson is a
four-time Olympic gold and silver medalist; a national- and
world-champion athlete. Already a popular role model to all
ages, in 2009 she captured the national spotlight again when
she won the widely popular Dancing with the Stars. Yet Shawn
is no stranger to hard work and adversity. Her loss of the
major gymnastics prize everyone expected her to win in
Beijing, the all-around Olympic gold medal, was the loss of
a dream she’d worked for since childhood. And later, she
suffered a potentially career-ending injury in a skiing
accident that forced her life to a halt and made her rethink
what was really important. She wasn’t sure who she was
anymore. She wasn’t sure what her goals were. And she wasn’t
sure she was satisfied with where she was with her faith and
God. Could she find the right kind of success in life—the
kind that doesn’t involve medals or trophies, but peace,
love, and lasting joy? This is the amazing true journey of
how the young woman who won an Olympic gold medal on the
balance beam became even more balanced.
